Jason Witten unofficially recorded a tackle on Thanksgiving Day. The Dallas Cowboys tight end took down a Cowboys cheerleader who was in his path on the sideline.

Witten reached out and pulled down the cheerleader, later identified as Melissa Kellerman, while being driven out of bounds by Miami Dolphins linebacker Marvin Mitchell after a fourth-quarter reception.

Kellerman, whose back was to the play, did not appear to be injured. She expressed shock after her sudden encounter with the 6-foot-6, 265-pound Witten.

Witten wasn't done running into folks on the sideline Thursday. With about three minutes remaining, he knocked over a Cowboys medical staffer after a similar play.

The meeting of Witten, who's married, and Kellerman was far less planned than the last player-cheerleader get-together at Cowboys Stadium. Back on Nov. 13, Buffalo Bills tight end David Nelson ran to his longtime girlfriend, cheerleader Kelsi Reich, after scoring a touchdown, hugged her and handed her the ball.
